Technical FAQs 4

Does recycling and secondary use of lithium-ion batteries affect environmental impact?

A life cycle analysis on recycling and secondary use of lithium-ion batteries. Based on the recycling in China, the LCA of different methods has been established. Compared to other recovery, the secondary use has the lowest environmental impact. Secondary use has the greatest impact on assessment results in dynamic situations.

Does secondary battery substitution reduce environmental impacts?

SCE-2 and SCE-4 have a greater generation of electrical energy from battery use than the other two, indicating that secondary battery substitution of electrical energy is the main influencing factor in avoiding environmental impacts.

Do battery recycling and secondary use affect the environment?

However, most studies have focused on the evaluation of carbon emissions and environmental indicators in the production phase of batteries, or the LCA of batteries throughout their life cycle, but less research has been conducted on the environmental impacts of material recycling and secondary use of used batteries (Lai et al., 2022).

Are second-life batteries sustainable?

Sustainable applications and development of second-life batteries is explored. Challenges and future opportunities in second-life battery utilization is identified. Li-ion (LIB) batteries have emerged as reliable energy storage for transport and grid applications due to their high energy density.
